JoeAllen and Glenda's stories

  Dear Friends,   Greetings from the land where the sun shines hot and bright. The rains have reduced and it seems the dry season is coming on us. The Christmas season is here and it does not feel like it!   The church at Lela went through a difficult situation when a member and friend suffered tremendously and died. We wondered why her husband and the family did not step up to the plate and try to at least make her comfortable. We may never understand.

  Dear Friends,   Greetings from Kenya! We hope that you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. We were able to have an enjoyable day in spite of the fact that Joseph's and Gerald's families were absent due to Joseph's grandfather and Becky Miller's mother passing away. We missionaries become family to each other, even though there is a strong pull to be on the other side at times.   The Zook family from our home church joined us on Friday and left again on Monday. A thank-you to the Zooks for friendship, support, and spending time with us. We wish you God's blessings as you continue following God at home.    Continue to pray for the work in Kenya. We are facing some things in Lela that we need God's wisdom to know how to handle. We also invite your prayers for strength and courage as we endeavor to be faithful soldiers of the everlasting King!    ~ The Yoder's ~    Glenda, Tiffany, Elliot, and baby Frank at Bible Study hosted at Peter and B...
